We will live forever, bro or sis
Absolutely! Good point with brain development. As you said, I believe it can be navigated, and just shouldn't be the focus point, or reason for immediate judgement. All those other points you listed are far more relevant.
I didn't mean him in that example, but the bottom of the power dynamic being 40, or 20.
Yes, absolutely. That's what I was trying to say. Also, because of another reply in this thread: I didn't mean him, or him being insecure, in my example of the fourty year old.. I meant a 40 year old at the bottom of the power dynamics. As compared to a 20 year old.
Agreed, but in my experience people in their early twenties can be surprisingly experienced and conscious kinksters, able to voice consent and negotiate intense situations. While people in their fourties can be incredibly insecure, unable to communicate their needs and insecurities, while still wanting to play.
It's a matter of experience, self-awareness and skills, and those don't come with age, but with work on yourself and education. We need so much more sex education and communication about these things.
The woman in question doesn't seem to be an experienced kinkster though, and she should totally be heard in any case. But the age argument distracts from the real issues, I believe.
..sorry to be breaking the fourth wall here, but man, it would be hilarious if you actually thought x.com was porn xD couldn't blame you, though. If you weren't playing, I see it as my moral duty to remind you of this weird timeline we are in, where Elon bought Twitter and renamed it
Well, it COULD be a billion dollar idea if you used rrreally cheap materials for the blankets - like, recycled asbestos - and also produced, say, medicine for lung cancer in one of your subsidiaries.
Thank you guys a lot for your thoughts! I will create a new account and pay for a Game Pass subscription, I think I should get it discounted for the first month. If the guys at the home really like it, I will try to find a permanent solution with their admin people.
Donating a gaming PC, how can I let them try my games in a safe way?
Hey guys,
so I posted here a few weeks ago, with the idea of donating a gaming PC to a nursing home. I talked to someone in charge there today, this might actually happen.
Thing is, to try this out I would probably have to supply the software (Microsoft Flight Simulator being the most important now.)
As I understand it, you can only use the Flight Simulator with a Microsoft account. If I let them use my own account, that would mean a PC with my logged in account would be standing around there in the open, for anyone to access.
Does anyone have any idea how to approach this in a safe manner? I wish I could just buy a physical copy and let them have it for a while, before they buy their own. But even those need a connected Microsoft account nowadays, it seems.
Was also thinking of buying a used Xbox Series S (this might become the long term solution anyway), but same issue with the account, I believe.
(Man, modern gaming keeps finding ways to be annoying sometimes.)
P.S. If you have great game recommendations for octogenarians, bring them on!
Oh! So automation replaces secure long term positions with bullshit gigs? Brilliant! Great example of how technology will save us all. Next goal: the climate catastrophe, surely it can't be more difficult than this!
Oh. So, thermodynamically speaking, severe depression can be classified as an abnormally high heat dissipation coefficient. Solution should be easy.. Insulation. dusts off hands Physics saves the day again! Somebody tell some techbros and Peter Thiel. I smell a medtech startup!
This is an abomination. As the article said, imagine a 30 year old movie being pulled because it showed an Audi or played a certain song! What the hell
Oh come on, MMORPG players have always been the worse of the two. I mean, most people of both camps are really nice. But playing a shooter vs pretending you're a wizard? Way more chance to drop off the really deep end.
(Please don't take this too seriously.)
This is horrible.. but of course it was a Korean MMORPG
Prepare another lunch as bait and make the ingredients fun, but not illegal.
(I hear powdered Carolina Reapers are very fun. This could be slightly illegal, though.)
Are you trying to prove your own point?
Well, maybe, but Lem did as mathematicians do: write lengthy, intricate things and then not do a lot. Whereas my little stanza of physics is just a prelude to things that happen later in the lab, and which require a first aid kit at hand.
No no, Socrates is exactly who we need right now! ..Damn, why did we poison him??
Could a gaming PC be a good thing in a nursing home?
Recently talked to a 90+ year old man in a park in front of his nursing home, guy is a former RC plane enthusiast. Can't do anything now because of his age, though. Bored all the time, sitting in the park is his highlight.
Thinking of donating an old gaming PC that can somewhat run the Microsoft flight simulator. Would that be a good idea? Can the average 80-90 year old use that at all, just speaking sensorically and motor skill wise?
Are there any other thoughts you have on that idea?

Does Microsoft have the power to pull the plug on Linux gaming?
So I'm talking about playing previously Windows-only games on Linux, e.g. via proton.
I don't know about the libraries etc that are used - is it possible for Microsoft to use some legal voodoo, for example, to suddenly end it all, and make the use of their libraries illegal (if they belong to Microsoft in the first place)?
Or could there be other ways of interference?
You randomly get a hold of your colleague's phone. It's unlocked. You don't mind being fired. What sounds do you set as his notification and ring tones?
I was thinking of something like the Duff Man theme and slapping sounds and moans, but I feel that Lemmy knows better.
(Obviously, I would start texting and calling him during the next meeting)
What is it with companies ditching Denuvo?
I've been reading the same thing a couple of times lately, company x removes Denuvo from game y.
What is happening? Are we returning to a state of innocence and purity?
You finally made it
Alright, your propaganda here over the past months has worked. I want to get into Star Trek. Where do I start? Can I take an abbreviated tour? Or do I need to go to TOS?
Meta: Requirement to post year of creation?
Hello, I love this community, but I can't stand it that so many posts don't feature the year that the artwork was made. That's such important information, just to place that piece of art in context. Maybe it can be made a requirement to include the year? What do you think?
Alexa should react to short, weird sounds like glottal stops
I think it's silly to speak in full sentences to home assistants, when I really just use 5 commands most of the time.
It would be snappier to make weird sounds, produced by snapping ones tongue e.g., like some African tribes use in their languages.
Or any other weird, short sounds.
It might be more satisfying to use, and probably funnier.
Also, over the course of a few years this might find its way into everyday spoken language. Which would be wonderfully dystopian and maybe funny.
Why are there so many apps that could be websites?
Seriously. I don't want to install something on my phone when the dev is just using a WebView, if that's what it's called. When the app is basically just a website with the browser hidden.
What's the reason for that? To attach the customer? To sell the app for money? Is there more ad revenue that way? Do you reach more people?
(Are there any good reasons for it, too? Security, maybe?)

Is public transport in the USA owned by car makers?
I once heard that in the middle of 20th century, public transportation in the USA was widely privatized and bought by automotive manufacturers, and then wilfully left to rot, so that people would buy more cars.
However, I can't find anything backing that up. Do you know whether that's true, and where I can find some sources for that?
What's an alternative to Spotify that doesn't play you the same fucking songs over and over?
I am in an intense love-hate relationship with Spotify. It makes good mixes for me, I have found a lot of great bands that way. BUT IT KEEPS REGURGITATING THE SAME SONGS IN THERE. I know about Song Radios and Artist Radios, so please don't recommend those. Smart Shuttle doesn't cut it, either.
The best thing would be several randomness sliders. One for randomness in bands, the other for randnomness of their songs, one for genres. Please tell me some music service has implemented something like that. I am dying over here.
Would eating raw human brains make you high?
With all the hormones and whatnot inside. Dopamine, adrenaline, melatonin, whatever. Also, there's this Hunter S. Thompson bit on the.. pineal gland?
If it had an effect on you, wouldn't it be a really messed up high, all over the place? With uppers, downers etc mixed? (Not including the emotional implications of eating raw human brains.)
Play it for the first time now or wait for September?
Hey there,
so I was turned off by all the drama at launch and waited until now to buy the game. I hear major changes are going to come soon.
So do you think it's a better idea to start playing it now, or wait for patch 1.7/2.0?
Why can I not see posts from federated communities I'm subscribed to?
Hi, as in title. To drive home the urgency of my question: I subscribed to monster girls on lemmynsfw.com. But I can't see any monster girls here. My disappointment knows no bounds.
Understanding cross-instance commenting
So I commented on a post on lemmy.world, and somebody from lemmy.ml replied to my comment.
I was finally able to reply to their comment in turn by using the reply symbol under their post in my notifications. I couldn't reply before because clicking on their comment took me over to lemmy.ml and I thought I would be able to sign in with my credentials from here and post, but I think I understand now that that isn't possible. Every instance has its own registered users and you can't cross-post, you can only reply on the federated thread on your own instance and wait for it to be federated over to the user from the other side.
When I look at their post now, my comment shows up on lemmy.ml. So the thread was federated over to lemmy.ml from here, I guess?
I have not registered on lemmy.ml, just on lemmy.world.
Did I comment on lemmy.world and it got federated over to .ml?
Because I can't comment on the post on lemmy.ml, but that's expected I guess, since I'm only registered here.
Does this make sense?
Sorry if I'm just blabbering on here, but I'm still a bit confused about how all of this works exactly. Typing this out helps me understand this.
Is anybody facing similar issues of not quite understanding what they're doing?
I will attach a screenshot.
